From the reviews

An amazing venue!!!! We toured multiple venues and Ariel International was just absolutely stunning! We had our ceremony on the third floor, and reception on th 4th floor with 240 people there and it was the perfect space!

★★★★★ — Marisa, Jan 2025

Outstanding experience. We hosted our wedding reception here at Ariel International Center and it was everything we wanted it to be. Tracey was a dream to work with - effective, hands-on, and no BS. If I got married a second time, I would absolutely host the reception here.

Getting married at Ariel International Center

Two things make the tour worth the drive. First, see the ceremony spot at the exact time of day you'd say your vows — a west-facing beach glows at sunset but bakes at noon, and you'll want to feel the wind, watch where the sun sits, and walk the path your guests take across the sand. Second, bring your real questions: the weather backup (where does the ceremony move if it rains or the wind kicks up?), who pulls the beach permit, the sound-ordinance curfew, the catering and bar policy, and exactly what's included — chairs, setup, and teardown on sand are where quotes quietly diverge. Peak beach dates book 12–18 months out, so if the tour feels right, ask what's open in your season before you leave.
